Melachim 2 – Lesson 06 – The Miracles of Eliyahu HaNavi and Elisha HaNavi Were Accomplished Through Tefilah; Giving Tzedakah on Behalf of a Person Who Passed Away; Techiyas HaMeisim in Halakha

00:00 – The crime of Gehazi against his master, Elisha HaNavi through which he lost the key to his Gan Eden (Eternal Reward).

06:52 – Sidelight from the gemara – Hilkhasa DeMeshicha: precepts that are not found in the Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Torah Law) because they are not applicable in our time. Yet the Shulchan Aruch does consider whether or not the wife of Eliyahu HaNavi may remarry, since he was taken alive into Gan Eden. This indicates that the case of Eliyahu HaNavi’s wife holds relevance to life today.

22:27 – The Chida z”l brings the case of Rabba and Rabbi Zeira.

28:56 – Story of Rabbi Yisrael Meis, the older brother of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, who died and was returned to life as a child.

34:00 – The key to miracles is emunah (faith) in tzaddikim. “What type of hands does a person need to collect Hashem’s constant blessings?” Hands of faith.

38:20 – The idol created by Gehazi.

40:10 – The worst sin is despair.
